start seeds for tomato, pepper, and cabbage family. The greenhouse is 20x60' and has a double layer of 6mil poly.
By the end of march...

10F. My big pond had ice about 2 inches thick, but

This question is kinda strange. I know that water will
freeze at 32F, but running water, on the other hand, seems

water, like the spring...

One easy way to collect the sap is to use a long plastic tube. I found some
at the local hardware store pretty cheap. I run the tubing from each tree to a
clean 55 gallon drum. I used to do the...

Actually there's huge...

very easy, but its bed is soo...
